Holé Smokes BBQ

"Wait,,,,,can I give Service 12 stars ?? Talk about a great experience. Great food. GREAT service. Great prices. We went during OC restaurant week. First time here. First up was the chips and Queso. It was so delicious. So tasty. A little spicy. But so good. We ordered brisket, TriTip and a hot link. Side orders of fries and potato salad. Everything was absolutely perfect. The meat were delicious. The sides were great. Finally we got dessert. Banana pudding. Wow. So good. The service was impeccable. Vivian was our server and she was very attentive. Super great service. I got to be honest and say that every single thing I tasted was delicious. Nothing was off. Everything was perfectly awesome. I definitely look forward to coming back. Which we will."

"My wife and I stopped by here on a whim and really enjoyed the food. We got the rib tip and honey burnt end appetizer, and while they weren't our favorite they were okay Our brisket entree was very good. My wife loved the slaw as well. The hot link was my favorite thing we got, it was delicious. Also, they get a point for having battered fries which were very tasty. We will be back, the food was good and our waitress was very friendly and attentive."

"The moment I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of BBQ and the friendly staff started my visit off properly. Came in here for one reason, and one reason only, brisket. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. I haven't had brisket that good since I moved to California a few years ago from Texas. All in all, great spot, great staff, and incredible food. Was definitely worth the drive up from SD"

"Very tasty the brisket is done right the ribs were tasty. The chips and queso compresto was great the chicken was good so was the sausage. The fried pickles were good very good lunch highly recommend going."

"I recently visited Holé Smokes in Costa Mesa and was blown away by the experience. We ordered the brisket, ribs, and hot links, and each meat was a standout in its own right. The brisket was exceptionally tender, with the rich, smoky flavor perfectly captured in every slice. Ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the hot links had just the right spice. The sides were equally impressive. The potato salad was creamy and well-seasoned, a perfect complement to the smoky meats. The Mac and cheese was cheesy bliss, and the coleslaw added a nice, refreshing crunch to balance the meal. The atmosphere of the place added to the overall experience, making us feel like we were right in the heart of Texas. Service was top-notch, too – friendly, prompt, and always with a smile. If you're looking for authentic, Texas-style barbecue in California, Holé Smokes is the place to go. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. Highly recommend!"
